The next day, after receiving the equipment, cleaning up the temporary factory, installing the equipment and moving in the workers, the production of AK47 rifles began.

After the factory started operating, Fang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Replacing the 47k rifle with the AK98 is epoch-making, completing the transition from single-shot rifles to semi-automatic rifles to automatic rifles.

As time goes by, the number of AK47 rifles in stock increases.

Three months passed in a flash.

During these three months, Fang Jian completed the replacement of three regiments with 98k rifles. Feng Lin's new army also began to show results. Although it was not very elite, it was still useful.

Francis Xan was preparing to reorganize the troops into the 1st Guard Division by combining the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Guard Regiments.

The 1st Guard Division was commanded by Fang Guoxuan, with Fang Tianming as deputy commander, Xie Yuan as chief of staff, Fang Weian as commander of the 1st Regiment, Fang Weiguo as commander of the 2nd Regiment, and Fang Weijia as commander of the 3rd Regiment.

Feng Lin's new army was reorganized into the 1st Division, with Li Zhongwu as the division commander, Jiang Xuanqi as the deputy division commander, Yang Pingchang as the chief of staff, Zhao Zhang as the first regiment commander, Wang Ming as the second regiment commander, and Xue He as the third regiment commander.

The new army in Changhuan was reorganized into the Second Division, with Zhang Wei as the division commander, Sun Yuhua as the deputy division commander, Yu Hui as the chief of staff, Zhang Sheng as the first regiment commander, Liu Changyi as the second regiment commander, and Peng Yunguang as the third regiment commander.

As expected, the new army in Changhuan had 15,000 men, and Fang Jian transferred Zhang Wei's 1,500 men to the First Division.

After the reorganization, the 1st Guard Division had 9,100 people, the 1st Division had 13,500 people, and the 2nd Division had 15,000 people.

All troops were equipped with AK47 rifles, submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns, and all original light machine guns were banned.

During these three months, Francis Xavier exchanged 100 sets of military uniforms, 100 trucks, 1000 radios, 1000 telephones, 100 barrels of diesel, million grenades, and grenade production equipment and materials.

30 Daxin XI-type rifles, rounds of ammunition, submachine guns, and million rounds of ammunition.

600 general-purpose machine guns, 75 rounds of bullets, 12 105-caliber mountain cannons, 12 artillery shells, -caliber mountain cannons, and artillery shells.

75 12 caliber field guns with 105 shells, 12 howitzers with shells.

A total of points are spent.

The artillery configurations of the three divisions are:

警卫一师:75口径山炮6门,105山炮6门,75口径野战炮6门,105榴弹炮5门。

第一师、第二师:75口径山炮8门,105山炮5门,75口径野战炮6门,105榴弹炮4门。

Originally, he only planned to sell Zhu Yaoxiang one thousand Daxin XI-type rifles per month, but after getting the AK47, Fang Jian sold two thousand rifles plus six hundred thousand rounds of ammunition in one month.

A total of 78 silver dollars were sold, which seems like a lot, but in fact, after paying the troops' salaries, there was not much left.

At this time, Fang Jian had already arrived in Xing County. Also stationed in Xing County were the 1st Guard Division, the 1st Division, and the 2nd Division.

The 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division was stationed in Fenglin City, and the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division was stationed in Changhuan City.

Therefore, the troops of the two divisions that arrived at the front line consisted of only two infantry regiments each, plus their own artillery regiments, machine gun battalions, guard battalions, reconnaissance battalions, logistics departments and other direct units.

In the conference room, all the division-level commanders were sitting there, looking at Fang Jian expectantly.

Fang Jian looked at Tao Yunong and said, "Yunong, tell me the information about Ma Jincen and Zhu Yaoxiang."

"After the three divisions of Zhang Shengwu, Han Zhifu and Ma Jinwei under Ma Jincen were eliminated, only four divisions were left." Tao Yunong stood up and said.

"They are Cao Bingshen, Liu Minggong, Zheng Zhifan, and Wang Rongbu."

"After that, two more divisions of troops were recruited. But because Ma Jincen increased taxes and exploited them too much, the new army mutinied, and many of them fled and became bandits."

"Later, they conscripted men to fill two divisions, each with nearly 10,000 men. But it was Zhu Yaoxiang who sold a lot of weapons to Ma Jincen's troops, which solved their urgent problem."

"Zhu Yaoxiang?" Fang Jian narrowed his eyes.

Tao Yunong said gloomily, "He bought 150 rifles from you, Commander, and sold half of them to Ma Jincen. Each rifle was sold for silver dollars."

"It's okay. They can make money. They have connections, so we can't stop them from making money." Fang Jian waved his hand.

I sold weapons to Zhu Yaoxiang for the purpose of making money. Could it be that I was asking Zhu Yaoxiang not to sell weapons?

Tao Yunong continued to introduce: "Before the war, Zhu Yaoxiang had eight regiments with nearly 20,000 people. After the war, only four regiments were left with nearly 8,000 people."

"Although Zhu Yaoxiang tried his best to recruit soldiers, due to the war in Qingshan, he was only able to recruit less than 4,000 people."

In this way, Ma Jincen had six divisions with 60,000 troops, while Zhu Yaoxiang had one division with 12,000 troops.

"What's going on with Zhang Guilin?" Fang Jian asked.

Although they only had 47 people, they felt no pressure facing the -strong Juma coalition. Not to mention their own artillery advantage, the firepower advantage of AK, submachine guns and general-purpose machine guns could completely make up for the gap in numbers.

Tao Yunong said with a strange expression: "After investigation, we found out that Zhang Guilin's son had an affair with the ninth concubine."

"After being discovered by Zhang Guilin, his son hurriedly opened fire while running away, injuring Zhang Guilin. During the battle between Zhu Yaoxiang and Ma Jincen, Zhang Guilin had been recovering from his injuries."

Upon hearing the news, not only Francis Xavier, but all the officers present tried to hold back their laughter.

Fang Jian glanced at everyone and tapped the table, "Okay, everyone, let's talk about how the next battle will proceed."

"Commander, the one blocking our way to the west is Zhu Yaoxiang. After getting rid of Zhu Yaoxiang, it will be feasible to attack Nanling directly or conquer Nanfeng and Huai Chong." Seeing that no one spoke, Li Zhongwu was the first to stand up.

"Most of Zhu Yaoxiang's troops are concentrated in Qingshan City. We can first send a small part of the troops to clean up the surrounding counties."

"The main force will encircle Qingshan and take down Qingshan City as quickly as possible. I believe that with the elite troops and weapon advantages, we can take down Qingshan before Ma Jincen can react."

"They then stationed in Fengxian County, intimidating Ma Jun and forcing him to fight a decisive battle in Fengxian County."

Fang Jian turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall of the conference room. Feng County is located in the northwest of Qingshan and belongs to Nanfeng. It is not only connected to Huai Chong, but also a bridgehead for Nanling.

If they capture Fengxian County, the troops can head straight to Nanling. If they can really capture this place, Ma Jincen will definitely fight them to the death.

In response to this suggestion, Fang Jian shook his head: "Fengxian currently has two divisions stationed there, led by Liu Minggong and Zheng Zhifan."

"Although we can storm Fengxian, if the enemy is prepared and a stalemate occurs, our troops will be stuck in Fengxian."

There are two divisions on the opposite side. Even if we capture Fengxian, the troops will suffer heavy casualties, which is not advisable.

Except for the more elite 1st Guard Division, the 1st and 2nd Divisions were newly formed troops. They had only three months of training and their combat effectiveness was not much stronger than that of the warlord troops.
